Entering fall

After Labor Day, we moved into a temporary apartment while our house was repaired.  This resulted in us exploring a new neighborhood, as well as the start of Cooper's soccer class. Here are pictures from our September adventures.

A new playground

Go 49ers!

What is this thing?

Running off some steam on the Mall

The boys and the Washington Monument

Another new playground

And a new haircut!

Ready to ring in the new year!

Don't worry, we have security in this apartment

We can be comfy anywhere!

Lancaster

We spent a long Labor Day weekend in Lancaster, PA with Lorraine's parents.  While the sleeping was not ideal, we all managed to have some fun. We spent a day at Strasburg with the trains, then Dutch Wonderland, and then the Lancaster Science Museum on the way out.

This is great!

Cooper loved the Joust - he rode it 3 times in a row

Hi Mama!  I'm awake now...

Bumper cars

Finally Parker got a ride of his own...

Summer fun

Despite having only half a functional house this summer, we made the most of it.  After we got back from our cruise, we handled the DC heat with grace (and sweat).

Yum..spaghetti!

All done

We love G.G.!
